well- here's a different take:

why is a person's reproductive capabilities such a large consideration in their sociological placement? if it is such a huge factor, why wouldn't adults who have chosen not to have children be as shunned as the gay community?

personally, i think that human evolution has passed the point of needing to continuously reproduce. there's a whole bunch of us now. we're straining the earth's limitations. why should we continue to double and triple our population until we have somewhere to put them (i.e. when we begin to settle space).

back on topic.
no- homosexuality is not a 'defect'. it is not a 'choice' any more then breathing is a 'choice'.
and no- i would not say that there is more homosexuality present in these times unless you are simply number crunching. there are more people then ever, therefore; there are more homosexuals then ever.

and i would not say that "many lesbians do have remarkably similar facial characteristics" anymore then i would say that many straight males happen to be around 5'9" and have brown hair. most of the similarity seen in the homosexual communities came from simple fashion choices.

watch any war movie and tell me that most men don't look alike when their heads are shaved and they wear the same uniform.

and hey! there have been some wonderfully thought out and open-minded posts on this board, and i would like to commend you all for them!
